Saltine Toffee

I've been on this sweet and salty kick lately, and let me tell you this is some seriously good stuff. 

I think the salt on the crisp crackers combined with the rich, semi-sweet chocolate and crunchy, buttery toffee makes for the perfect candy, no matter what time of year it is. 

It's probably best to make this during the holidays, but I won't tell if you make an entire batch just for yourself!
